Como is inextricably linked to its lake, yet with a walk through the city you will discover all it has to offer. Notice how all the streets are properly arranged, like in a checkerboard.

This is due to it keeping the original structure of the Roman military camp that was first erected in this land. After tasting some resta, a traditional dessert that is prepared in Como, keep pedaling southward and close the Brianza ringroad towards Milan.

The area in which you will ride after the initial uphill elevation is really something else: wooded hills, fields and small settlements. One of the first inhabitated centers you may find is San Fermo della Battaglia, in which one of the campaigns of Garibaldi and his Cacciatori took place. A few kilometers ahead you will enter the territory of the Lura Park, founded in order to protect the environment of the Lombard high lands, you will contribute to promote eco-friendly tourism by riding here.

The last kilometers of the current section will take you to the Groane park. You will explore it during the next stage, try to get some rest for now.
